Magnet Loves…

Wine Coolers!

We all know that fridge space can be at a premium when you’ve got a large family. Our fridge is packed with delicious fruit and veg as well as every day necessities such as milk and a vast array of condiments.

And if you’re anything like me, during the summer months you never know who’s going to pop round so I always like to have a bottle of wine chilling in the fridge. Unfortunately – sometimes there’s not enough space!

Did you know that it takes up to 16 hours for a bottle of wine to chill in a fridge? And that time increases every time the fridge door is opened!

That’s why at Magnet we love wine coolers. Not only do they look great, but they mean you’ll never have to drink warm wine again!

If you’re planning a kitchen, make sure you get yourself this must-have kitchen appliance!

Click ‘n’ Cook

Kitchen gadgets should be about making your life easier and this one definitely does.
The Click n Cook is a spatula system which ensures that all your cooking utensils are in one place. The set has a storage block that holds five detachable spatula heads – depending on which one you want to use simply attach the handle!
The spatulas include a classic flat spatula, a long, flexible fish spatula, an extra-wide spatula perfect for flipping burgers, a mixer and a spoon – ideal for pasta. There’s a spatula for every need, meaning you can whip up any meal in a flash.
Not only is the Click n Cook handy for cooking but it looks pretty stylish too – each spatula is colour coded and displayed in it’s angled, stainless steel holding block.
So there’s no more messing about trying to find a spare utensil – they’re all in one place and handily displayed for quick and easy access!
